"There has been a lot of interest in him from other top flight teams in England and abroad, so to be able to add his quality to our squad is a massive boost this early in our preparations for the new campaign.

"He is a great addition and I think he will contribute very well to our style and philosophy here."

Fulham will be relieved to have brought in a striker of Premier League pedigree. After selling Bobby Zamora to QPR in January, Andy Johnson joined him at Loftus Road after his contract ran out this summer. The Cottagers also missed out on retaining the services of Pavel Pogrebnyak, who impressed at Craven Cottage after joining in January. The Russian opted to join newly-promoted Reading instead.

Despite Rodallega's arrival, Fulham fans will remain concerned by the continuing speculation surrounding last season's top scorer Clint Dempsey. A move to Liverpool for the American continues to be rumoured.
